I've been so busy since November. It feels like I haven't had the chance to really rest since then. I'm always going out with others or busy. Now that it's the New Year, I really have to get around to reapplying to college before the deadline hits, but I'm so tired and nervous about it. I hope the new year is going well for everyone here!

The cider I have brewing under the sink is almost done. I added honey to my last batch when it was done fermenting, which brought out the apple flavor and also made it slightly effervescent, as the added sugars started a secondary fermentation phase. I don't have any honey left now, so I might go to the store and buy some.
Do you folks have anything that you like to add to your cider?
I might also try making applejack with some of the finished product. I've never distilled anything before, so freeze distillation might be a good way to start.

This winter has been abnormally warm. It's more rain than anything else, and soon spring will arrive. Normally we have at least a few weeks where it's bitter and windy and below freezing, but not this time. I don't particularly mind one way or another, though I do wish there were more occasions to grab a hot chocolate and get comfy. Can't win em all, I guess.

Warm here too! It's probably because a historically strong El Nino occurred last year, which has lead to pretty weird (mostly warm and wet but stable) weather patterns for large portions of the Northern Hemisphere. The Arctic Oscillation index has also been mostly positive, meaning cold weather has been confined to the Arctic region rather than forming large loops southwards.

Yeah, distinct lack of cold enough weather to properly enjoy hot chocolate :(

Rain took away the cherry blossom petals. They were beautiful while they stood on the branches of the tree outside my dorm. Every afternoon I saw the sunset behind them and was stopped for a moment before returning to my tasks. Now the tree holds blood red leaves. I wonder how they got that color. I haven't seen a cherry blossom tree with leaves like that before.

Are you sure they are cherry trees? Ornamental plum varieties look very similar, but have red leaves. They may produce little fruits.

It just got cold again where I'm at, not cold enough to snow. However it snowed in April last year, only for like a minute.

Kind of wish it would be winter again and we could just skip summer, but I also love the rainy summer days. Kind of conflicted feelings in life now in general.

I went to this island with a friend.
https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/43.6609/-70.1881
I wanted it to be just a beautiful walk around Maine island. It ended up being a lot more than that.
We went for a walk around the island, like most Maine islands is was so beautiful it hurt. As we came around the east side however my friend saw something over the swamp. A massive concrete structure rising out of a hill. It was something I had never even heard of despite living here all my life. Battery Steele!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_Steele
It is MASSIVE on the inside. There is art everywhere, and not just the simple scribbles of teenagers, no, there was some really good stuff there. Things that obviously took a lot of skill and time to complete. Some rooms in the bunker were obviously filled with art installations at some point in the past. I even say this painting of a face -

http://www.highstrungloner.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/potd-20110401-074.jpg

Some parts of the bunker were cut off to us are they were filled with Atlantic sea water. We had a musical accompaniment for our exploration too, as some local kids who lived on the island were there for a hard-punk band practice. As my friend and I explored their haunting screams and guitar riffs let us know that we were not alone.

I plan to go back there some day with a bike, water, lots of lights, a proper camera, a tripod if I can get my hands on one. That was all we really had on us were our clothes and our phones.

Spring weather has finally arrived! Now the sun can properly heat the ground, gigantic towering clouds are forming, drifting across the landscape; they're adding a lovely sense of dynamism to the scene out the window.

>>972
Sounds like a fun trip out! Coastal batteries are such a weird little aberration of history, seemingly built by all the world powers for some sort of steampunk-ish all-out war with heavy artillery but no airborne explosvies that never came. And yeah, they never seem to exist until you're right on top of them...

I've only ever visited one over here, Cliffe Fort. When it's flooded, it feels like you're standing on the edge of a level in a platforming game!

http://imgur.com/a/8jTwb

I still plan to hire a boat with a friend or two and head out to see one of the Maunsell/Shivering Sands towers one day too (the things that Sealand was built on, there were a whole series of them built throughout estuary). Visiting one of the German flak towers is on the same list!

It's nice that Steele is preserved as a public space though; I think any society needs these big structures to go and mess around in, and it seems giving access to it has certainly been a success.

It's been constantly raining for very brief periods of time.
Roughly half an hour of sun followed by 10-15 minutes of rain, going on like that all day.
It's quite bothersome, can't really do any work in the yard like this but at the same time it's comfortable inside so I don't really mind.
